Sprats Fish Fry | Choodai Meen Varuval

This tiny fish has become one of our favorites since two years. Though this fish is available in India, I never got a chance to taste it. When I saw that fish in the supermarket here, I thought of giving it a try and I liked it very much. I used to make both fry and gravy. But we both like the fried version of it rather than the gravy. Its available here only between August and February.

Clean the fish thoroughly and finally add turmeric, salt Give it a mix and wash them well.

Add Turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, ginger garlic paste, salt and lemon juice. Mix everything well. Apply the masala on the fish and marinatte them for atleast 30 minutes. Then shallow fry them in a pan till both the sides turns crispy. You can add some fresh curry leaves while frying them, but thats optional.
